text! Here is a spectacular and informative guide to the
glories of ancient Greece. Superb color photographs of
armor, jewelry, temples and much more offer a unique
"eyewitness" view of the history, daily life, beliefs and
achievements of the ancient Greek civilization. See the
golden mask of Agamemnon, the luxurious palaces of Crete,
an armed hoplite ready to do battle, the Parthenon Frieze,
what a Greek family wore, and what the inside of a Greek
farmhouse looked like. Learn how Greek athletes did the
long jump, how Odysseus escaped from the cave of the
Cyclops, how to play the Greek game of kottabos, who
discovered Troy, and why Socrates drank hemlock. Discover
the origins of the Hippocratic oath, what toys Greek
children played with, the layout of a typical Greek home,
the range of the conquests of Alexander the Great, who the
Greek gods were, and much, much more!
